"Sazon con Culantro y Achiote" (seasoning)

Gasco Industrial recalled "Sazon con Culantro y Achiote" (seasoning) in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Oct 3, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared colors: FD&C Yellow #5, Yellow#6 and Red #40" Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "PR only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Gurabo, PR. The recall covers 1221 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 5, 2012), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
